Have they given you a chapter at least? :) Congrats on the new find!!!
I have opened quite a few slabs for my coins. Probably half or more... To open a slab, just wrap the coin in an old towel and tap the edges of...
:hail: A belated Happy Holidays to you all! :hail:
Whoops! :hammer: I am glad to hear that. :)
Freddy, I'm not sure how you can be "definite" about anything from a photo, but hopefully what follows will help describe how I arrived at my...
I agree with both Nathan and GDJMSP, although I'm more sure about the former (cleaning/hairlines) than the latter (nature of the toning; AT/NT)....

Thanks for the explanation. I get confused easily. :goof: Fish, You're not the only one looking for a '94. I'm on the hunt for a large and...
